"With all of my Love"

What can I give a God,
who owns everything?

I can't give Him a fancy car
or a diamond ring.

I wanted to give Him a flower,
but He is the one who makes them grow.

I am going to think of something,
this I surely know.

I want to give You something,
that is sure to make You smile.

So I decided to
offer back my Child.

But then I thought about my children,
and how you made all of them.

And so I decided to give you a beautiful tree,
with the tallest of limbs.

I thought to myself,
no that will not do.

Because I remembered that
You made all of them too!

I got so excited because I was going to
give you the cattle on a thousand hills.

Then it dawned on me that you made them too,
and that took away my thrill.

I wanted to give You something special,
for all that you have done.

Just then I thought of of the perfect gifts,
I  said "I will give You the moon and the sun."

But then it dawned on me,
that You placed them in the sky.

Finally I got so frustrated,
that I just began to cry.

So I called upon The Holy Spirit,
And I asked Him "what should I do?"

He said " if you follow my leading",
"I can make all of your dreams come true.

Then He began to show me Calvary,
and how our Lord had suffered on the cross.

Then The Holy Spirit said if you want to make God happy, then bring Him a soul that is lost.

So I began to witness each and everyday,
for my wonderful Lord up above.

And finally I laid a lost soul at His feet,
and I said "this is for You God with all of my love."

The Holy Spirit"
